Like a mommy blog. Except I'm not a mommy. And it's about extreme DIY and homesteading. And food, food, food. And gardening in fishnets. And moonshine makin'. And the fine mess I've gotten us into this time. So not at all like a mommy blog. Ok, you know what, just read the damn blog.

Bad Mama Genny is here once again to fulfill your misguided attempt to find real joy through consumerism! Today’s installment has it all: corseted cake baking, Foo Fighters, Mr. Darcy, sneaking alcohol into baked goods, and EVEN a bloodthirsty killer who’s not so rude as to be unconcerned that you might burn yourself!

This book of American mugshots will have the misfit in you riveted and fantasizing about that life of crime you always meant to lead. But of course, there’s no need to shell out the mega bucks if you’re bad enough to take this task on yourself. BMG says, make a regular date with a photo booth near you and make your own mugshot book. Of course, if you’re still not sold on the magic of photo booths, just watch Amelie. Works for me EVERY TIME.

Anyway, the real reason is so that you can make a cake whilst fancying yourself to be a saucy Victorian lady from a Jane Austen novel. Then you can get all swoony when Mr. Darcy walks into the kitchen and samples the frosting from the bowl. You’ll let it slide this time, but only because he tugged on your corset-laces so charmingly. And because, hey. It’s fucking Mr. Darcy.

You have until Friday, September 16th at noon (CST) to enter, so hike up your fishnets and get going! I’ll announce the lucky misfit shortly after.

My sister is currently doing her Masters Degree in South Africa studying Great White Sharks. She is the go-to baker for all of the other researchers and interns. She is probably most famous for her pies or her cinnamon rolls. I know she’d totally get a kick out of me winning this for her!

I would be pulling a red velvet cake that I will be attempting to form into something that resembles Jaws. Seriously. My six year old daughter has requested a “Jaws” theme for her 7th birthday party. I said no to the live shark in our pool, but yes to the cake and party hats which look like sharks are munching on all the attendees heads. Love it. Love your blog.
